INSTALLATION STEP 4
Install The Protector System^
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and
aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will
detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The
sending eye (with an amber indicator light) transmits an
invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green
indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam
while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse
to full open position, and the opener lights will flash
10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the
sending and receiving eyes face each other across the
door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can
be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the
sun never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the
track of sectional garage doors without additional
hardware.
ik WARNING
Be sure pov.'er is not connected to the garage door opener
BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing
garage door:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor.
This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the
brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface
such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see
accessories) are available if needed. If installing in
masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each
location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if
repositioning is necessary.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No
part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs, hinges,
rollers or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while
the door is closing.
Facing the door from inside the garage

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install
and align the brackets so the sensors will face each
other across the garage door, with the beam no higher
than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. They may be Installed in
one of three ways, as follows.
Garage door track installation (preferred):
• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of each
door track, with the curved arms facing the door. Snap
into place against the side of the track. It should lie
flush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track,
as shown In Figure 1.
If your door track will not support the bracket securely,
wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation (Figure 2 & 3):
• Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms
facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearance for
the sensor beam to be unobstructed.
• If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket
(See Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.
• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate
and drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on the wall at
each side of the door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) above
the floor.
• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (Not provided).
• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust right
and left assemblies to the same distance out from the
mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware
obstructions are cleared.
Floor installation (Figure 4):
• Use wood blocks or extension brackets
(See Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the
lenses will be no higher than 6" (15 cm) above
the floor.
• Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies
at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all
door hardware obstructions are cleared.
• Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
opener until Step 11 below.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door
opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding
pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If
the plug doesn’t fit into the outlet you have, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
If permanent wiring is required by your local code,
refer to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" hole
in the top of the motor unit:
• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover
aside.
• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass
terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on the
silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green
ground screw. The opener must be grounded.
• Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
opener at this time.
A WARNING
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fire:
• Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and
disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to
establish permanent wiring connection.
• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance
with ALL local electrical and building codes.
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change

grounded.
INSTALLATION STEP 9
Complete the Safety Reversing Sensor
Installation
ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the
sendingand receiving eyeswill glow steadily \\ wiring
connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eyeamber indicator light will glow
regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green
indicator light in the receiving eyeis off, dim, or flickering
(and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed),
alignment is required:
• Loosen the sending eyewing nut and readjust, aiming
directly at the receiving eye.Lock in place.
• Loosen the receiving eyewing nut and adjust the
sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. When the
green indicator light glows steadily,tighten the
wing nut.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS
1. If the sending eyeindicator light does not glow steadily
after installation, check for:
• Electric power to the opener.
• A short in the white or white/black wires. These can
occur at staples, or at opener connections.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• A broken wire.
2. If the sending eyeindicator light glows steadilybut the
receiving eye indicator light doesn’t:
• Check alignment.
• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.
3. If the receiving eyeindicator light is dim, realign either
sensor.
NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed or
misaligned while the door is closing, the door will
reverse. If the door is already open, it will not close. The
opener lights will flash 10 times. (See page 15.)

4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the
lights will turn OFF.
• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
• Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs for
replacement.
NOTE: Use only standard light bulbs. The use of short
neck or speciality light bulbs may overheat the endpanel
or light socket
CAUTION
To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or light
socket:
• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs.
• DO NOT use halogen bulbs. Use ONLY incandescent.
To prevent damage to the opener:
• DO NOT use bulbs larger than 100W.
• ONLY use A19 size bulbs.
INSTALLATION STEP 11
Attach the Emergency Release Rope
and Handle
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top
of the red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side up as
shown. Secure with an overhand knot at least
1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent
slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in
the release arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m)
above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear
the tops of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. Secure
with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
A WARNING
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a
falling garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage
trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken
springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door
falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot
becomes untied, you could fall.

INSTALLATION STEP 12
Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type
as illustrated below or on the following page.
A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long
enough to be secured to two vertical supports. A
vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height
of the top panel.
The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the
horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, two pieces of
angle iron are used to create a U-shaped support
(Figure 1). The best solution is to check with your garage
door manufacturer for an opener installation door
reinforcement kit.
NOTE: Many vertical brace installations provide for direct
attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case
you will not need the door bracket; proceed to Installation
Step 12.
SECTIONAL DOORS
• Center the door bracket on the previously marked
vertical centerline used for the header bracket
installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped
inside the bracket (Figure 2).
• Position the bracket on the face of the door within the
following limits:
A) The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm) below
the top edge of the door.
B) The top edge of the bracket directly below any
structural support across the top of the door.
CAUTION
Fiberglass, aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL
REQUIRE reinforcement BEFORE installation of door bracket.
Contact your door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.
• Mark and drill 5/16" left and right fastening holes.
Secure the bracket as shown in Figure 1 if there is
vertical reinforcement.
If your installation doesn't require vertical reinforcement
but does need top and bottom fastening holes for the
door bracket, fasten as shown in Figure 2.
